Experience sound quality that's rich enough to satisfy your in-home tastes in a form factor compact enough to take with you. Logitech's Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 combines 2-inch active and 3-inch pressure drivers for crystal-clear sound and surprisingly deep bass. Take it with you to school, work, or the park. Stow the speakers, AC adapter, and remote in the included travel case. The speakers include a built-in, rechargeable battery--with a battery life indicator--that lasts for 10 hours on a single charge. Take it anywhere in the world; the AC adapter works on most electrical power grids worldwide.

The 2-inch Max-X active, high-excursion drivers with neodymium magnets give you full, balanced audio, while the 3-inch pressure drivers maximize bass response and minimize distortions. The StereoXL technology widens the sound stage beyond the physical boundaries of the speaker. Works with all iPods and iPhones (uses the new Apple Universal Dock Adapter specification).

4.0 out of 5 stars Review with iPhone 3G, October 12, 2008

By	Sam "Sam" (Next door,CA) - See all my reviews

I'm used to buying Bose or Altec Lansing but I wanted a small footprint with internal battery so it can moved around the house and also I could use it when going on longer trips outside. This was a perfect choice since it came with everything in a small package. I was skeptical in buying this and had pretty low expectations but once I plugged in and played, I was pleasantly surprised to see the output from a small speaker.

Pro's

Works with iPhone 3G***
Great sound for the small package. Very good on vocal.
10hr rechargeable battery with indicator
Excellent remote with very good range (Tried it from 15ft and it works great)
Nice carrying pouch
Good price considering the price on JBL on stage etc.
The one touch repeat or shuffle function is very sensible with this.I use to play songs for my baby and often I keep doing repeats and this has been useful or skipping the same songs in line


Cons

Good on vocal and couple of instrumental but lacks BASS. If you are used to higher and bigger speakers Bose & Altec Lansing, You might find it not very good (but considering the size I would say it's great)
Small remote could easily misplaced. Suggest a velcro on the speaker and remote so you can be sticking it when not in use

Overall 4+ stars cosidering the output and size and the winner is the built-in battery. Will do some more test and post after couple of months usage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Speaker System for iPhone 3g, January 12, 2009

By	Sette/Otto "Reading. Listening. Learning. Liv... (USA) - See all my reviews

As an owner of an iPhone, I was sad to find that the GSM interference produced by the phone produced insane noises when using my nearly 4 year-old JBL onstage (which has been a solid performer for years). As I went on the search for a replacement I did a ton of research and decided on this unit.

I was initially hesitant to get a sound product from Logitech - but I am glad to report that my hesitation was unwarranted. I am very pleased with the sound and build quality of this unit.

I am also geeked because I can leave my iPhone in its case (switcheasy colors) when I place it on the dock connector. I was less than thrilled by the idea of removing my case just to listen to some music.

Here is a list of pros and cons:
Pros:
1. Sound quality. I've put this system through some hip-hop, rock, alternative, classical, acoustic, vocal and other types of music and it has come out great.
2. Build quality. The form factor is excellent. The included case and iPod adapters are cool as well.
3. Price/Performanc ratio. There are a number of options available for the iPhone 3g now. And I feel this is the best when considering price. Other offerings from JBL are decent units - but the logitech is available for far less money.
4. Portability. The integrated battery is great. I used to relocate my onstage on our porch and had to always have it near a plug. The logitech's battery makes it far more portable and flexible.
5. Bass response. This is technically part of number 1, but I am very surprised at the depth of the sound. Drums don't sound anemic and the overall lows are top notch.

Cons.
Not too much to report. Overall, this is exactly what you'd want in a purchase. It delivers on all counts: sound quality, price, features and build quality.

I think Logitech has a real winner here.

One final note. The pics on Amazon's site don't really do this unit justice. It is a good looking piece of kit. The pics use an ipod classic that make the unit look dated. I was initially hesitant to order due to this, but I am very glad that I got over those reservations.

Overall, if you are in the market for an iPhone speaker set there is nothing really negative to consider with this unit. You get what you pay for and that is thankfully a good thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review with ipod Classic 160 GB, December 9, 2008

By	Wendell Vaughn (USA) - See all my reviews

I am also used to high quality sound systems, but I was looking for a portable ipod speaker system that could run on batteries. After a considerable amount of testing of the Logitech system versus other brands (at local stores), I determined that for the money, this was the best choice. I tested multiple Sony docks and a few other brands. The Bose version naturally sounds better, but not $300 better.

The Logitech unit comes with a set of so many ipod adapters to fit each model that I could probably build a garage out of the extras. My ipod never leaves the acrylic case I bought for it, so one nice bonus was that the Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 will actually fit the acrylic case if you don't use an adapter. Therefore, my ipod screen will never run the risk of being scratched while it's in the dock.

Overall, the sound is pretty good for it's size. I would not hesitate to purchase another in the future. I also will test the battery life, although I am told from the Apple Store that it will likely only last for about 5 hours instead of 10. I give it 5 stars because it's so inexpensive for the quality.
